microhike, Glendora CA on Aug. 14, 2007... TUESDAY

it seems like a few of us might get together tonight
(how's *that* for short notice!) and look around the
hills and valleys that Johnnyster showed us at the
Aug2007BBQ.

we will be doing some JUDICIOUS collecting. i promise
i will lead a H&H to the wastelands for unfettered
collecting as soon as it gets cool! (or another night
hunt!?)


if you are interested you can meet at my house or
possibly warren's house.

my address is
12235 Blue Spruce Dr
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739


the hunt is going to start sometime around 6:30-7pm, i
think. it will go to... well... *i'm* bringing a
blacklight and several whitelights... so... late?

night hunt, Rancho Cucamonga, Saturday Night, Aug. 18, 2007

i think i might be doing a night hunt by my dad's house, in Rancho Cucamonga, CA saturday night

i have previously found what i believe to be evidence of folding door spiders (like trapdoors and purswebs mixed together, kinda) and have since read that it might be easier to catch the little darlings at night


there are questions as to the legality of going to this place at night... caveat hunter hehehehe

how funny! i went to a meeting today or yesterday and somebody used my notebook to save their seat... so people were joking about me beign in two places at once

All right you local yokels:

This scorp was given to to me today. My pet shop owner said some guy brought it in, he found it up in the desert. Probably Palm Springs or around there. She's hugely gravid, but I had no idea we had such large ones here. She's about 4"-5", very close to my P. imperator's size! I'll take clearer picks later, but my boss is here and I had to do it quicklyl and quietly!!!

Any guesses?

crap i can't see pics at my job and use the computer at home untill next week. If you wanna get rid of it or sell the babies I'm your man.

 

[ftorres]

HEllo,
PErhaps is H spdix or H obscurus.
I think is to black to be H arizonensis
(Hadrurus)

If it is a female H spadix, would you like to trade her for some of my inverts or spiders????
thanks

[ftorres]

HEllo,
SOrry, after looking at the pic closely.
It is a H arizonensis. (yellow area on top of mouth)

[MizM]

Well, if you're SURE!!!

Ya think she's gravid? Or just fat, which I doubt, cuz we are having quite the drought here.

If she IS indeed gravid, the babies will be up for trade and gifts, however I'm not going to get rid of her, she's a beaut!!

 

[~Abyss~]

Damn, oh well in that case I'll take the babies. I'll see if i can get another computer soon to look at the pic. Try to take a side shot and point the light i'll try to see if she's gravid or not.

LOL, from what I hear, I won't be able to successfully raise the babies!!

 

[~Abyss~]

sure you can ? why not?

 

[cacoseraph]

LOL, from what I hear, I won't be able to successfully raise the babies!!

i believe there has been some limitted success and it involved super deep sand based substrate with a like, hydration gradient that the scorps could pick

i think you can read up on it here, actually.

agree H. arizonensis, btw

 

[MizM]

better pics... thanks for all the help.. ya think she's gravid?

 

[julesaussies]

there are still far more socal'ers on ab than the itch =P

There might be more but i still check the Itch first thing when i turn on the computer!!

 

[NBond1986]

that's a beautiful scorp!!!


if that scorp has babies.....ill take one or two!!! LOL

again, sorry.....i spend all my time on the itch.

never around here anymore....maybe once every week or two.....but i gotta start checking more often again.

 

[MizM]

So..... what do we all think about the probability of gravidity?
